HP Omen 15 - ek0010ca - audio issues

in flag

Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH cAVS - Realtek ALC245 - uses SOF. This is going to be just a briefly cleaned up version of my notes.

I'm hoping someone has had this issue and can help, I have been plodding away trying to figure it out to no avail. All of my searches has not brought up anything that really matches my issue.

When using the GNOME control center sound test, audio is delayed/broken on both sides, I'll hear a "t left" or "front" for example. Looking at the output bar, I can see the full audio being played. The audio is just not being output right, at the speakers.

speaker-test -> audio sounds normal, reports playing out Front Left channel, but audio is coming out of both speakers

speaker-test -c2 -> Front Left channel has skipping audio at regular intervals (1s on, 1s off), Front Right channel has skipping audio at regular intervals (1s on, 1s off)

speaker-test -c2 -s1 -> Front Left channel has skipping audio at regular intervals (1s on, 1s off) out of the left speaker

Playing a video or game, audio sounds correct, move balance to left and the audio skips, move the audio to the right and it skips. As long as the balance is centered, the audio plays correct. However, there is a delay to the audio start, this is noticeable in Minecraft. If 0 sounds are playing (according to the debug), and I make a sound occur, it is silent. If I don't delay and keep making the sound (e.g. mining) the sound starts. If I wait 10 seconds, the behaviour repeats.

  • Tried Pulseaudio and Pipewire, both exhibit the behaviour
  • Tried multiple Linux distros (ArchCraft, Axyl, Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Manjaro), issue follows
  • For Pop!_OS 21.10 and Ubuntu 21.10, kernels are 5.15 and 5.13 respectively, both exhibit the behaviour. Axyl had the bleeding edge kernel in the 5.16 series, issue still present
  • Complete shutdown of Pulseaudio (and confirmed it was not running), and used speaker-test directly with ALSA, issue was still present
  • Since the I took Pulseaudio out of the formula, commenting out module-suspend-on-idle does not help
  • Disabling power saving does not help
  • Laptop has Bang & Olufsen speaker setup (not sure if that really matters)
  • Audio works as intended in Windows 10

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
